Name: Siyori
Species: Canine // Fox-Wolf Mix
Kennel Number: 28
Why would you like this character/What will you do for this character?: Siyori really reminds me of myself. He is very handsome and I could never bare to part with him if I were to get him. I wouldn't let him collect dust. I'd find him a proper mate, add him to my characters thread, make him fanart, roleplay him, and love him with all of my heart. I would really be honored to be enabled to adopt such a flavorful and handsome wolf character.
Personality: Siyori is all about nature. He adores it; every bit of it. He could pace around a forest for many hours or even days alone. He could even stare at a single water-drop covered spider web for the longest time. He loves to look at the trees and to just be present in the moment. Every breath he takes brings a new thought, yet he still always has an open mind to anything else wanting to push its own way in. He feels most at home in the forest or woods, and he believes that he wouldn't be anything without nature. Nature is his life.
History: Siyori walked through the forest slowly and quietly. All was dark and it was somewhat damp. The ground underneath his paws was like mush as he stepped, and he was frightened by the spider that suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Even in this dark, scary forest, Siyori was comforted by the nature around him. He had to do something here. Had to fix it up. Nature didn't deserve to be treated this way.
He saw a strange patch of light over in the corner of the area he was in. In the shimmering light there was a small patch of mushrooms. They were brown with white speckles scattered along them, and he picked one up using his paw. He stared at it, thinking of nothing. And then thinking of something. His childhood. His past.
All before he had lived in nature. He had been born in the woods. A nice and cheery set of trees of all sorts, and many flourishing plants. He'd never seen any place like this before, though. And he still wasn't sure exactly how he had gotten there. He put the mushroom down and raced over to a tree, examining its unusual bark.
There, patterned along with the ridges of the old tree, was a picture. It seemed to be of a wolf, or a canine of some sort. He seemed friendly and cheery, and his face was happy. Around the picture were little carved mushrooms, much like the one he had just examined, and many flowers and trees.
Siyori picked up his paw, running his claws along the lines and attempting to stand on three legs. It hardly worked. He felt silly, and he put his leg down. He circled the tree, bringing new pictures into his view. There was that same canine, looking old and frail in the next picture. But this picture had more detailing. He squinted his eyes and saw that not only was the dog looking older, but also the trees around him. The forest in the picture began to slowly look more and more like the dreary forest that Siyori found himself in now.
But all of this was not what surprised him. What did, however, was that the wolf in this picture looked much like him. In fact, the one in the picture before had very few differences from him. And somehow, somewhere, he just knew. Just knew that that was his father and this was his destiny.
Siyori woke up with quite the startle. The stars were still shining brightly down on him, and the sky was clear, only the moon and stars in sight. He had been dreaming. Had meerly dreamt it all. For now he found himself still lying on the ground of a beautiful forest, not in bloom, but in autumn. His leaf bed began to feel scratchy and he began to feel restless.
Was this ridiculous? That whole dream? Or was it real? Was it truly his father? Siyori didn't know. But he definitely cared. It all seemed like nonsense. Both he and his sisters had been told since they were young that their father had died at war. His mother died shortly after, from missing him so much. Their love had been true, so why would the story change now?
Of all things, why would his father have died in the forest? Alone and hungry. Scared. And even more so, why had the forest reminded him so much of his childhood? It couldn't be that that dark old place was once the forest of beauty. The forest of his dreams. That didn't much matter to Siyori though. He knew that all of this was in his blood, and he knew that he had to go to this forest.
He started traveling before morning, still in the night under stars. He planned to head to where his sisters lived. Maybe they would know something. Maybe they would join him. Over time he approached their home. He called out clearly, "Hello?"
Fizari, his older sister, came to the mouth of her den. "Siyori," she approached him happily, but her face hardened into concern. Her brother had not been well. Why would he come in the middle of the night?
"Come on," he said. "I have something to tell you."
Nervously, Fizari ran back inside the den. "Zabi," she said, uncertainly. "Siyori is here. He has come to tell us something of importance."
The youngest of the siblings scattered out of the den, making her way towards the others. "What is it?" she asked. She was unaware that Siyori had not been the same since their father had died.
"It's... well... it's Dad," Siyori said.
"Oh, Siyori," Fizari said, swooping in to comfort him. "He's dead. He's gone. He died bravely, fighting in a war. Fighting for us. What could it possibly be?" she asked, growing more concerned by the minute.
Zabi was completely oblivious to this. "Dad?" she asked, her eyes growing with curiousity. She believed Siyori. She believed in magic, as if that was how things were supposed to be. "Has he visited you? Sent a sign?"
Siyori was grateful that she believed him so strongly. "No," he said. "But it's close."
"Siyori," said Fizari. "It's late." She didn't want him filling little Zabi's mind with even more magical beliefs.
"But it's true!" Siyori said. "And it can't wait! I had a dream. A vision. I was walking through a dark forest, all gloomy and wet. And then I found this tree," he squinted as he tried to remember it. Picture it once again in his mind. "It had a picture engraved in it. A picture of dad. And a picture of the forest we had been born in. But on the other side it had a picture of an old, angry wolf. He looked like dad, but he couldn't have been. He was just too... upset. And besides... dad is dead. So how do you think that he could have been there?"
"He couldn't have," Fizari said, narrowing her eyes angrily. "Dad is dead. Goodnight, Siyori," the bitter she-wolf retreated into her den once again, but Zabi didn't budge.
"I believe you," she said, looking up at Siyori.
"You do?" he asked. He hadn't really known if either of them would believe him.
"Yeah, I do!" she said, her voice growing high-pitched by the second.
"Good," Siyori said. "Because I'm not so sure I believe myself..."
Other: I really appreciate the chance to apply for another character from here. Tiki is still doing excellent with me, and I have a lot of fun using her and getting fanart for her. <3 I wish everyone a nice day. ;D
